Sounds like what I often said to others in 2016.
Pelosi is no fool when it comes to PR, and she just might be possessed of more information than we are.
Ok I am not denying that she is...but again her legislation will not pass. Even if they pull everyone back into Legislative Session (which they wont) it wont pass before November 3rd. So unless her plan is to pass it in the Lame Duck and screw Trump over until the Inauguration there is no endgame to this. The only way it works is if the GOP is on board...which I think we all know isnt the case.
You guys are putting way too much into what was announced. This is her direct quote:
Nancy Pelosi said:
“This is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents,” Pelosi told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.
She later added: “This legislation applies to future presidents, but we are reminded of the necessity of action by the health of the current president.”
Now maybe she is sandbagging...but I doubt it. One of the reasons I like her and got into arguments with Trixie about why she should be Speaker is she knows the ins and outs. She knows, better than anyone, this is a bridge to nowhere. (for now) The overall idea is an A+ but she didnt announce it now because they are planning to "25" Covita. There is no Bipartisan group (in concert with Pence on top of it) who is going to declare Trump unfit at this point...even to save their fledgling chances.
Further proof there is no
there there is this quote from Wapo:
The Raskin legislation has no chance of becoming law as long as Republicans control the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters in Kentucky on Friday that the idea was “absurd, absolutely absurd.”
There is no way Nancy is going to waste time trying to get this passed. Even if the House passes it tomorrow the Senate wont even pretend to look at it until after the Supreme Court BS and then it will sit in the pile with all of the other things Mitch refuses to bring to the floor. It is dead until the new Congress is sworn in and IF the Dems take back the Senate then it will pass. Trump will never have to ever even deal with it. What he does get though is a bit more ammunition to say "see they are trying to steal it all away from me".
This is starting to remind me of when everyone around here was telling us Mueller was going to take Trump down...you are pinning your hopes on a fantasy that doesn't exist in this actual reality. If you want Trump 25thed...you better get Pence and the Cabinet to go after him because no commission from this Legislation is going to be able to do it any time soon.
Trump couldnt even wait 12 hours to ruin what was a not horrid performance in the VP debates. (relatively speaking...he obviously still sucked) He is now calling Faux daily and going off on unhinged rants without anyone even talking about him. He is calling for everyone from Hillary Clinton to "Shoeless" Joe Jackson to be investigated and charged. The man's ego is literally choking him. I love when Nancy trolls him...hell I love when ANYONE trolls him...this just doesn't smell right and it gained nothing at all because he is saying all the stuff he would be saying anyways.
This wont hurt Biden in any way because there is so little time left and well, Trump is unhinged. But I just dont like chirping until the clock strikes zero.
